This is probably the best piano application available on the iPhone – and it’s infinitely more superior because it is free. It reminds me of those song books you can buy for kids that give you a simple little keyboard and the basic notes you have to play within the pages.
All you have to do is touch the realistic looking “keys” and play. They look just like the ones you would find on a regular piano, only smaller. You have an entire octave of notes to choose from, but there doesn’t seem to be a way to change the pitch in order to play any complicated songs. However, you do have the black in-between keys for flats and sharps as well as the ability to play chords.
I had a lot of fun playing simple tunes that I remembered from when I was a kid, and I actually had a hard time putting it down and moving on to other things I needed to do. Even funnier is that as soon as I did, my roommate picked it up and started tapping out the theme song to Inspector Gadget for a solid ten minutes.
This app can be used as a simple teaching tool for those just starting their music careers and also as a fun way to entertain others or to simply amuse yourself. Just be aware that if it gets into the wrong hands it can be really annoying. So keep it away from toddlers and those who think they are masters of rock.
